Making Chalkboard Sketches

Do you like to sketch? Easily make your sketches look like black and white chalkboard drawings and/or word art.

First, I have to admit I figured this out with a "light-bulb" moment while working on some basketball kits I'm designing. I just had to stop to share what I discovered.

Start with sketches on some kind of drawing paper (a paper that will have a bit more texture to it than regular white computer paper) or from a sketch book like I did. And, yes, I used one of my kids pencils.

Scan your sketches and save on your computer.

Open in Photoshop (for this tutorial I'm using Photoshop CS6).

Click on Image > Adjustments > Desaturate (this just takes color out of the image - but still keeps the file as RGB)

Then click Image > Adjustments > Invert
This will turn what is white into black - and what is black into white.

Last click Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast
Play with the brightness and contrast to get the look you want.

Now your background looks like a black chalkboard and your pencil drawing looks like white chalk.

Bonus: even where I smudged the pencil - it looks like white chalk dust

I hope you are as excited about this discovery as I am!

UPDATE regarding colored chalk:
after you've done the initial tutorial - use the wand selection tool and click on a white section.

Thanks, everyone. I've searched off and on for awhile now on how to digitally create chalkboard art - but just wasn't completely happy with the outcome. I had played around with my own ideas on how to do it - but still wasn't satisfied. Then after I scanned in the basketball sketches, I had done the steps in the above tutorial - BUT for different reasons.

Then, after I had inverted the artwork and turned up the brightness - which brought out the texture of the paper - I sat back and looked at my screen and thought "chalkboard" - and was so excited to see that the smearing of the pencil, when inverted, looked like white chalk dust. Hmm, I'm wondering about colored chalk now...??
